For all the bad press starbucks gets, it does treat it’s staff well and has an excellent array of benefits. I’m not their biggest fan in terms of their aggressive approach to business, but they do look after their staff, especially if you are part time.

I am disable and want a part-time job I’m mostly use to dealing to health care like a care giver takes care of the elderly. I just feel like a little more cash would be a help with my disability benefits.

They are all huge corporations. What about type of work that are locally owned? Is it no small coincidence that corporations driving wages down compared to inflation try to keep work on the part-time front? In the long run, buying and working locally are the more frugal things to do.
